SOUTH CAROLINA DENTAL ASSOCIATION RADIATION
SAFETY QUESTIONS AND 100% VERIFIED ANSWERS
2025 / GRADED A+ / GUARANTEED PASS!!
A licensed X-ray employer must
- answer-take all precautions necessary to provide protection to all individuals
exposed to radiation
A long-open-ended, lead-lined cone that provides the least diverging X-ray beam
and also limits scatter radiation
- answer-to the patient and operator should be used.
Adult issues detected by x-rays
- answer-areas of decay, damages in filings, possible dental/periodontal disease,
infection or nerve death, place or plan bone for implants
all cells of the body are not equally susceptible to radiation
- answer-The same dose of radiation will have different degrees of effect on
different cells in the same organism. Cells that are more sensitive to X-rays, that is,
more likely to be affected by radiation, are immature, rapidly growing cells.
All individuals shall be
- answer-positioned such that no part of the body will be struck by the useful beam,
unless protected by not less than 0.5 mm lead (equivalent) material.
An unborn child is considered to be
- answer-more sensitive than an adult or child to the potential adverse effects of
radiation.
Be clear in explaining the process to the patient. Have the patient close their eyes
during the radiographic procedure.
- answer-This will increase protection to the eyes which may be exposed to the
primary and secondary X-ray beam.
Bite-Wing Radiograph
- answer-Intraoral radiograph that shows the maxillary and mandibular crowns in
occlusion
, CBCT
- answer-cone beam computed tomography
Cells are more susceptible to radiation during
- answer-cell division, which explains why rapidly dividing immature cells are
more sensitive. Cells that are more sensitive to X-rays are immature, rapidly
growing cells. These cells include reproductive cells, blood marrow (blood
forming tissue cells) and cells in a developing embryo.
Cephalometric projections
- answer-show the entire side of the head. Used to look at a person's teeth by their
profile and determine the best type of orthodontic treatment
Child and teen issues detected by x-rays
- answer-find decay, monitor tooth growth and development, determine if
permanent teeth are coming in properly, help plan braces
Chronic and repeated exposure to radiation, however, may lead to
- answer-a minor percentage of unrepaired effects that accumulate in the exposed
tissues. The accumulation of radiation effects tends to accelerate the normal aging
process in the organs and tissues.
Collimation
- answer-This reduces patient exposure by restricting the X-ray beam to the area of
concern
Cone
- answer-The long open-ended lead-lined cone provides the least diverging X-ray
beam and also limits scatter radiation to the patient and the operator.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
- answer-provides three dimensional images, uses less radiation than a medical CT
but more than typical x-ray
CT
- answer-computed tomography
Digital imaging
- answer-radiographs taken at different times can be compared using a process that
